Destruction of the Liquor Business Con-
sidered In the Light of Material Pros
perity.
Laying aside the argument of sober
life with its clear mind and healthy.
body, and considering the destruction
of the liquor industry only in the light
OF material prosperity, what would be
the result?
The records show that the people of
this country spend every year for
liquors the sum of 5000, 600, 900, and for
other things as follows: /
Bread e,os ooo ooo
Cotton and wooden goods. ........ 452,OO0O0O
Meat, 303,000,000
IRON ana steeI. ..'...........,....... 296,OOOOO0
Boots and shoes. Observation-Disclosures. 191.O0OOQO
Sugar ana molaSSeS. 155,0O0OOO
Total for six legitimate industries 81, 9OS 100000
Nearly half as much is spent annual
ly for this one article of liquor as for
all these other articles put together 1t
is self-evident that if this sum of $780,
GOO, 900 was not spent for liquors that
1t would either be saved to the persons,
directly, who spend it. or else 1t would
be saved indirectly by spending it on
these legitimate articles. An exchange
for these things is not a waste, for it is
only substitution of values. These
great industries that amount to little
more than twice that of this huge liq-
uor trade, if it were abolished, would
receive into themselves the enormous
bulk of $900,000,000. The millions of
people who are now able to spend only
81, 9OS, 600, 600 for legitimate articles of
use every year would be able to spend
50, S0S, 600, 900, even if they had no
more work or better pay than before,
and this without cramping them near
as much as to spend the $1,908, 900, 900,
for the reason that the direct saving of
5000, 600, 900 would also be the means
indirectly of saving 5000, 900, 600 more
in the form of taxes and bene-
factions The success of Tenn
perance principles would enable
the people to save 81, 900, 900
every year. In other words, this i'm
mense sum, a sum great enough to
extinguish our National debt in twelve
months, would be exchanged for the
different forms of property, and not
for ruin and death and the chances of
hnding ha5itations in the infrmaries,
asylums and penitentiaries. In ad-
dition to this vast annual amount that
would be diverted into legitimate
channels of trade, there would also be
the immense capital now invested in
the liquor traffic. The brewers, dis
tillers and saloon-keepers have now
invested in their business 81, 200, 000,-
900. This would not be all lost Some
part would probably be lost exchang-
ing into legitimate industries, but
81, 600, 900, 600 at least would be saved,
and it alone would give honorable en-
ployment to four times as many men
as it now does. Giving the people
power to have the use and benefit of
81, 500, 100000 annually more than they
do now, would create demand that
would take an almost inexhaustible
supply to fill. and the demand for
labor would be so great that it would
enable it to dictate its own terms. o.

WHAT can missionaries in Africa ex-
pect to accomplish when Christian
nations continue to supply whisky and
rum in unlimited quantities? The
statistics show that during a single
year there were shipped to the west
coast of Africa from Germany 1885,
236 gallons of rum, and from Great
Britain Co., 1923 gallons; from the
United States whisky and rum to the
amount of 921, 412 gallons. All the
churches in the three nations could
not overcome the devil inclosed in
these shipments.-Public Opinion.

The various computations of the
amount spent yearly in this country
on liquor are very curious. One
speaker at temperance meeting at
Brockton, Mass., the other night, as
serted that from the sum spent every
year on liquor thousand one
dollar gold pieces might be put on
each word in the Bible, and that even
then there would be $50, to spare.

Why Is it?-We have in our experience
met number OF men, in every in,agin-
able line OF business, but the happiest,
most energetic and agreeable fellows are
the agents of the well-known and popular
Davis Sewing Machine" They are M
happy ms the day Is long, They make
everybody with whom they have any
dealings feel the same. Why is II? They
are men from the ordinary paths Of life,
chosen more for their honesty and res
p reliability than on account OF mechanical
skill because this "Davis" machine is the
very acme OF mechanical simplicity and
requires no skill in its manipulation. One
hours operation in a customers house
amply demonstrates this TACT and its ad-
vantages become at once apparent. 1t
docs not take the lady long to decide in
favor OF this machine, finding, as size does,
that she can do work on il that would be
impossible on machines OF the under feed
pattern. Any lady who has any knowl-
| edge oil the Davis and other machinea. will
tell yon without hesitation that the Davis
is incomparably the best. Not only will
IL perform more than double the work
possible with any other machine, but the
work ia done with half the erertion and
with an ease shat Is as pleasing MS 1t Is

"pRErTY SERIOUS BUSINESS,

For rome years prior 10 the war We felt
il due 10 the people OF the South who had
Inherited property in slaves, tolerated and
acknowledged by the Government, to have
that government reasonably compensate
them Tor ,he loss oD such property II they
would willingly blot out the then only
damnnble black rpot upon the fair name
of Free America. THIS thought WINS not
tolerated Tor moment by the leaders md
wielders Of the lash in the South. One Of
the cardinal principels Of the Republican
party at its birth was TO contine slavery to
the states where II exirted and II would
die a natural death In time. This tie

great struggle over the territory of Kan

10 make It free State by the North.
Hence the great struggle Of FIVE yeais that
followed soon after.

The following paragraph from the Gin

1.-THE prohibition law Of Kansas forbad
not only the sale but the manufacture O

The following Crop and Stock estimates
are based ON reports received from the

tabulaled and averaged for the State:
| Per Cent

The most reliable estimates pluce the
present wheat area at about s5 per cent
as compared with last year, or about four
hundred thousand acres short. This great
shortage IN area is due to the unfavora BILE
conditions Of weather and soil during tine
entire seeding season. The present con-
dition OF the plant. 73 per cent. as com.
pared with lair average, indicates ex-
cee'lingly Encouraging prospects for the
wheat harvest next year.
The present low condition OF wheat
represents, compared with fair average,
Abont eight millions Of bushels. and add
ing to this abont Eve millions repre-
stnted by tho shortage in acreage as
compared with last year, the present prob
abilities are that the wheat harvest for
1883 will be some thirteen millions below
an average product, II the condition OF
the plant should improve TO fair average,
which is not al all probable from present
appearances, there win still be n shortage
on account Of low area, and the harvest
must inevitable be The smalleal for many
years.
The estimated corn product ia placed at
